But, of course, this is manifestly not true.  See Pete Daniel, In The Shadow 
of Slavery, for a social history of peonage (slavery) litigation through the 
1940s.  Consult Lexis-Nexis or other legal online search engines for 
subsequent slavery prosecutions.  I can remember but not cite cases in 
Florida, North Carolina, and San Diego, California within the past twenty 
years.

If the normative "Get over it" is premised on the factual proposition that 
"Slavery has been dead since the 13th Amendment in 1865," than it follows 
logically that the proposition put forward by the poster, Mr. Basil Green, 
is logically false.

With respect,

Harold S. Forsythe
